Think stone pavers are the only option for your walkway or driveway? Think again! Concrete work is making a comeback, thanks to an increasing selection of concrete to choose from to make your house more like a home.
A new and creative option in concrete work is stamped concrete. This offers the same look as traditional pavers, but without the same high cost. It also is available in a huge assortment of colors and can be stained to match your home's unique style.
Stamped concrete is a good investment because the concrete work can be used for your walkways, patios, pools, and decks, connecting your whole home. In-ground pools benefit from the gorgeous colors and textures, with the bonus of being slip-resistant-- Perfect for mom's taste and the kids' safety!
Concrete work is a great option for driveways in warm climates, especially as an alternative to asphalt, which can soften in high temperatures. The tar can get tacky and deform, depending on how strong the UV rays are. Asphalt will last 20 or more years, but needs to be resealed every 3 to 5 years, depending on how much you use your driveway. Concrete driveways are more durable in high temperatures, but susceptible to cracking in extreme cold weather. Another benefit of concrete work is that concrete driveways don't have to be sealed, but they can be sealed to maintain their pristine look.
